Just getting the opportunity to catch up on the BashThread now that I'm back at the ranch ( no network signal at the Hollow.
Left yesterday (Monday) at 3 o'clock thinking I'd get home about 8pm and due to a 2 lorry collision and later another one breaking downing the M6 near Knutsford, it took about 2 hours to travel between Stoke and Manchester.. Real bummer! Highlight of the journey was arriving at the Esk Cafe chippy on Longtown between Carlisle and Gretna and getting the best Cod and Chips in the business and then 'Flaked out' for about an 90 minutes after that ( see what I did there!) as the tedium of the previous nose to tail crawling had taken it's toll on me.
Arrived home at midnight ..nine bloody hours for a journey that can be done in around 5 hours comfortably, normally!��
Many thanks to MikeHW45 for picking up my new tent and the HW97 lefty en route to the Bash.
I did likewise for ThisisDonald by transporting the steel Blueing box that he sold to Nige 346 who came up from Kent and thoroughly enjoyed his first visit to the Bash. With that an other examples of stuff getting transferred around, the BBS Courier Service certainly does the job thanks to a great bunch of folks
Thanks also to Tony L for assisting in the process of zeroing in the old Diana 50 which had a number of scope mount issues.
On the subject of thanks it goes without saying how much we are all indebted to our hosts 'M and S' for their immense efforts to ensure the whole event runs so smoothly and is so enjoyable.
See you next year AGW !
Cheers Graeme
Ps I almost forgot to publicly thank Baldinio for providing Sunday morning 'room-service' with a couple of brilliant fried egg rolls ..there'll be a recommendation going on Trip Advisor for that!
.Muchos Grassyass Chris!��
